Records of the Milton Society of America, officially organized
in 1948 to promote the advancement of scholarship on John Milton and his works. A nearly
complete sequence of annual dinner and meeting programs, as well as the Milton Evening
booklets which preceded them, document the society's main function, which was to bring
together and honor scholars in the field, The correspondence primarily relates to the
planning of the dinner and the gathering of Milton-related works for the society's library.
The annual James Holly Hanford award for the best book and for the best article related to
Milton is an ongoing function of the society for which it receives submissions. The
collection also includes the Seventeenth Century News, the
official organ of the Milton Society of America, from 1942 to 1988 with only occasional
missing issues. This publication highlights recent Milton scholarship and also includes
The Neo-Latin News beginning in 1954.
